Debian as CentOS replacement?

[Michael L]

Hello NLUG,

I'm contemplating trying a Debian LAMP stack or LEMP with Nginx instead of Apache.  Linode leases Debian VM's for that purpose, so I take that to mean it's  a viable option instead of CentOS.  I plan to attempt the install on a physical machine first.  The reason is so I can see about breaking down our Joomla website into smaller components and see if I can run it on a smaller VM at lower cost, which is about $400 on Digital Ocean for a 32GB RAM 640GB HDD machine.

Will take input from NLUG.  Bis spaeter.

You may take a look at Amazon Lightsail for hosting.  It is basically a slimmed down and much easier to understand version of Amazon EC2 with flat pricing that includes everything in the bundle.  We are running LOADS of servers on Lightsail.  It ends up costing us less than EC2 and the simplicity really helps as well.  They have "Blueprints" that you can choose from for deployment.  One of them happens to be Joomla, if you want to stick with that.  There are no contracts or anything.

At the least, you could spin up a simple instance and kick the tires.  If it doesn't work, just kill the instance and you get prorated billing for the amount of time you actually had the instance.
